Personal Notes:
This is the only barbecued spareribs recipe I know of that doesn’t use any tomato yet still makes a rich and convincing barbeque sauce. I found it in a Cranberry Cookbook at a time when I couldn’t eat tomatoes and it was a godsend. Time-consuming to prepare, but worth it. NB: Canola oil makes a difference -- keeps more of the barbeque coating on the ribs than other oils.
